Advantages of Cloud Connector

The cloud connector has these advantages:

  • You do not have to open an inbound port of the on-premise network firewall to establish connectivity from SAP Cloud Platform. You can use all allowed outbound connections without any modifications.

  • Connects on-premise database or BI tools to SAP HANA databases in the cloud.
  • Allows propagating identity of cloud users to on-premise systems in a secure way.
  • Installs and configures easily as it is available with a low Total Cost of Ownership.
